Key considerations in the translation of legacy embedded control software to Model Based Executable Specifications

摘要: Traditionally, control algorithms were explored using analytical approaches and limited computational methods while they implemented as hand-written C-code by software engineers. This gap between algorithm exploration implementation is being bridged graphical modeling tools such Simulink®. Models in Simulink® serve Executable Specifications. They can be simulated to verify against requirements used the basis for embedded code generation. The benefits of this approach have prompted many organizations undertake fairly large effort migrate their existing Legacy Embedded Software Model Based Specifications order reuse leverage know-how. paper discusses some key aspects Translation Process that are important ensure process efficient it results a work product “true representation” source code. importance structured process, aids model implementation, and, criteria measure resulting quality discussed detail paper.
